Where can I find info on a possibly really old book?
Going through a box of books handed down from family, I cam across what looks to be a very old edition of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" in burgundy cloth with black lettering on the spine. Besides the book title and author's last name is "Houghton Mifflin Co" at the bottom in the black lettering on the spine. Inside it says "The Riverside Press Cambridge" (NO YEAR). One illustration of "the cabin" on one of the pages just before the preface, no other illustrations that I saw quickly looking through the 500 pages.
I'm curious as to the year of printing (as it's not listed)
I also have a very revered (in the family) depression era cookbook (instructions and recipes)... the Uncle Tom's Cabin is much older than this book (from what I can tell from the binding, color of paper, etc). Less interested in the "can I sell this for bucks", more like "if this is over 100 years old, from the 1800's, that would be really cool" frame of mind.
